Murphy Family Legacy Society

Instrumental in drafting the legislation creating the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, Charles Murphy served as a trusted advisor and White House Counsel to President Truman. 

For approximately four decades, Westbrook Murphy has served as Special Counsel to the Truman Foundation, during which he has offered a firsthand connection to our namesake in sharing stories of and lessons from the Truman administration.

Westbrook and Cindy Murphy have mentored countless Truman Scholars and have warmly welcomed Truman Scholars into their home and lives.

A gift left to Friends of Truman Foundation in your will, trust, or beneficiary designation is a way to ensure that your work in developing the next generation of public service leaders will continue.

A commitment to the next generation of public service leaders can be your legacy.
